[Chorus: Dean Martin & Nat King Cole]
Open up the doghouse
Open up the doghouse
Rover, Rover, move it over
Two cats are coming in

[Verse 1: Dean Martin & Nat King Cole]
Nat, you look like a man with a story (I sure have)
I told my wife we oughta save money (Uh-huh)
That's the way it's gotta be (Oh, gotta be, gotta be that way)
She canceled all her charge accounts, gave all the gold to me
Well, I can't see what you did wrong
Why was your woman so upset?
Well, I put the money on a horse and he hasn't showed up yet

[Chorus: Dean Martin & Nat King Cole]
Open up the doghouse
Open up the doghouse
Rover, Rover, move it over
Two cats are coming in

[Verse 2: Dean Martin & Nat King Cole]
Well, Dean, what's your problem, huh? (Here it is)
I gave my wife a beautiful fur coat (You did?)
Told her it was genuine mink (Rich man), mhm
I took her out to show it off
Then we stopped in for a drink (Oh, cocktails)
Well, I know your wife was really thrilled
How come you two had a spat?
Oh, it's easy, you see, it started to rain, the coat got wet
And mink just don't smell like that (Timber!)
[Chorus: Dean Martin & Nat King Cole]
Open up the doghouse
Open up the doghouse
Rover, Rover, move it over
Two cats are coming in

[Verse 3: Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, Both]
Let's hear it, Nat
You know what, you know what, though (What?)
There's just one way to handle a woman (Mhm)
Dean, we just got to treat 'em rough
You gotta slap 'em (That's right)
We gotta show 'em who wears the pants
Cut out that sissy, sissy stuff (Mhm)
Now it ain't no use to take abuse
Whenever they are cranky or cross
Let's put the women in their place
And we'll show them who's the boss

[Outro: Dean Martin & Nat King Cole]
Open up the doghouse
Two cats are coming in
